Birthday Weekend

I snapped a few shots of our thanksgiving meal last sunday. Did I mention we had steak, lobster tail, and crab legs? It was incredible. We had some veggies and salads too.

We took off right after the meal so we could get to Swift Current and sleep there to break down the journey home.

This weekend, we had a Halloween party to go to down the street. Here is a sneak peek at what the kids are wearing for Halloween. We also made sure to call Grandpa and wish him happy birthday.

We made crafts at the party. One girl took all the eyeballs for her own pumpkin. He was pretty crazy looking!

It was really fun for all the parents and the kids.

Mads kept asking whose birthday it was. I said it was just a Halloween party. I asked him whether he wanted chocolate or vanilla cupcakes. He said "Happy Birthday kind!"

The next morning we had Erik's swimming lessons, and then we meet Mormor and Morfar for my birthday brunch. The kids were not able to sit still for very long.

Daddy walked with them to the library and I got some time to myself ( and some cleaning time too ). Then we had supper and cupcakes.

Mads had a breakdown because he wanted to have his own cupcake, and daddy's cupcake. He wanted more happy birthdays to eat.

Mads is exactly 2.5 today as his birthday is 6 months away from mine.

Trains and Glasses

Last week we had an end of summer marshmallow roast with JJ and KC.

Later in the week, we went to Edworthy Park and played at the playgrounds.

They really wanted to see a train so we waited and waited.

And waited some more.

Finally the train came! Bobs exclaimed that it was the longest train ever.

We went to the eye Dr. Mads said "yeah my tummy hurts" and we said " no, not that kind of Dr."

Mads eyes are fine, but Bobs might need glasses for Kindergarten next year. He has medium astigmatism.

Corn Maze

We went to Corn Maze again this year with Cael and his family. It's becoming a fall tradition. Mads rode the tractor ride three times.

He wasn't into the same activities as the older boys were. Cael and Bobs spent a lot of time on this dirty, dusty slide. We made sure to have bubble baths this evening.

Mads enjoyed looking at the animals and Bobs went on the bouncy pillows.

We went into the junior corn maze and ran around for bit. We will save the master corn maze for when the kids are a bit older.

Milking the cows added some much needed water to the dust, to ensure the dirt caked onto their pants.

Like last year, we have had a great fall and the weather has been perfect. I think we are expecting snow later this week.
